MEET RESULTS

For our first away meet, I was very pleased with how everyone did.  It can be intimidating swimming in a different pool, and our kids handled it well.  Don't stress if your child added time last night.  That happens sometimes when we are changing their technique and they get slower before they get faster.  It can also happen after an active, day camp!  I thought our 10 point win was super close earlier this season, but last night was a 3 point different.  This time we were on the short end, losing 394-391.

We had a lot of best times last night! I have attached the full results. Lots of kids swam things for the first time ever as well! As we get faster, it is harder to drop a lot of time at once, but we still had a lot of huge drops (see below).

Below I have details for the biggest "loser" and first place finishes.

For every meet we choose a biggest "loser", meaning the person who drops or "loses" the most time. Our 3 biggest losers of this meet are Evie Abernethy who dropped 15 sec in 25 free and 33 sec in 25 back! Eleanor Murphy who dropped 55 sec in 25 free and 16 sec in 25 back! And Clayton Russell who dropped 20 sec in 25 free and 34 sec in 25 back! Great job guys!

Other big "losers" (those who dropped 5 or more seconds) are listed below. Congrats to all!
